Never settle for a small one, and demand a corner piece with a flower.

The Island of Misfit Toys

I’m over at DC Metro Moms today writing about something very close to my heart. Please read it even though it’s a bit long (of course it is – I wrote it!) and comment if you have your own story to share, a different perspective to present, or even if you only have time for a quick “so-and-so was here.”

Amazing post, Kate. So sensitive and heartwrenching. As part of this intrepid family I never lose faith. Oliver is so wonderful and you are the most wonderful mother and daughter in the world. Everything will be fine. We may not know what fine may look like but I have faith that all will be fine. I love you all soooo much.

your post is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing it. It's the kind of piece that many people can relate to, even if their life challenges are different from yours.I can tell you are a fabulous mother and friend :)

Hi! I'm Kate, a mother of three who wages a daily battle against wrinkles, dust, a lack of personal time and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one’s heart. I first hit publish on The Big Piece of Cake in 2008 when I planned to write "a humor blog." Since then I've lost any semblance of focus. Sometimes I say interesting things...and sometimes I just say things. Visit me here for varying levels of insight and over sharing.
